Child death request
I mostly need the age of the child that is written so that I can find a birth/baptism record. The record year is 1720. Link provided if needed (on right side third down) thank you
On 25 February buried ?? Joh. Philipp Gies little son Johann Jacob Gies ??????

I see it as:
"und ist alt word ein jahre und 13 wochen."
"and is one year and 13 weeks old."
I think the word after begraben is "word" so the phrase is:
"ist begraben word"
"has been buried"
The various conjugations of "to be" in German sometimes trip me up but I think it is "ist ... word" here.

That little downwards squiggle on the "d" in "word" is actually their kind of shorthand for "en," so the word is really "worden," i.e. "ist begraben worden." You see the same kind of squiggle at the end of "begrab."
